We hope the soil blocks will make transplanting easier by preventing the roots from getting tangled, which is what happens when we just dump the soil in a tray. <BR/><BR/>Also, in the past we've started seeds with peat pellets and had to transplant to larger cells before it was finally warm enough to put the plants in the garden. The soil blocks will give the seedlings enough space so they can grow in there until they go outside, streamlining the process.<BR/><BR/>But this is definitely an experiment for us, so it might not make things easier at all!
